I purchased these grips 2 years ago for my hard-tale jumper. They felt great during first use and I have not taken them off since. Super comfortable and soft. However I'm not sure why, but on a single spot on both grips there is a really sticky area (on the outside of the palm when holding the bars). Quite annoying actually. need to use gloves all the time, even on my short ride to work. I would buy these grips again if I know they won't get sticky. Not sure how to clean them. If anyone does, please let me know!
